Hello Janet, If you stumble on any Elwell or Daney or Chapin's listed I'd appreciate your letting me know. I have a huge plat book for the entire Cuyahoga county area from around 1885. It shows the property owner's and may be divided into wards-at least the Cleveland part. Any assistance is appreciated.
